Morning Guys, I will be in New York for a week over new year. What is the best way to get mobile internet for a 1 week period? I have a Motorola Milestone (Droid) so can I get a PAYG sim with mobile internet (3G) access included? Who has the best price wise and coverage wise? Alternatively, what is ...

Ok, I have a VPN which I want to route traffic for specific websites through. I know how to do it I just don't know which utilities to use and how to configure. The proposed solution: Firefox -> Foxyproxy (filtering on regex) -> HTTP proxy -> VPN interface. I have Foxyproxy set up to use the HTTP pr...

What is the criteria for making it in to the top ten?

So what do you get for in exchange for 10GB of disk space?

Re: multitouch

Linux/X does now have mechanics for multitouch. The MPX (Multi-Pointer X) server can handle multiple mice so I can't see it being a huge leap to treat individual fingers on a touch device as pointers. Then you just need the software to handle the gestures of multiple pointers.

It really pisses me off that someone can claim ownership of an idea (or according to Wiktionary "That which exists in the mind as the result of mental activity; a thought or a concept"). It's such a stupid is the notion that multiple people can't think of the same idea completely independently! This...

Damn, why does technology have to make decisions so difficult.

I was eagerly awaiting the OpenPandora but now I'm intrigued by this new Nokia device!
